    24 oz. Mango Green Tea and 24 oz. Taro Creme Brulee
    Liz C.

    Still a 10/10 recommend tea shop for me! Wish the location was closer to me or my job but I am more than willing to pay the mileage fee for DoorDash delivery. Taro crème brûlée is a go-to and always delicious. Highly recommend any of their crème brûlée drinks.

    I tried the matcha latte with crème brûlée cream at Yicha and it was amazing! The matcha itself tasted high quality!! It was rich, earthy, and full-bodied without being overly bitter. The bobarista said the drinks can lean towards the sweeter side, so I went with 25% sugar which was just right, not too sweet, letting the matcha shine through. The crème brûlée cream added a velvety, slightly creamy touch that made the drink extra indulgent. Bonus points for their rewards system! You get a free drink for every 10 purchased, which is always a nice perk. Definitely coming back!

    I got the Yi Cha milk tea ($6.25) and added boba (95 cents) for a total of $7.79. I chose 50% sugar because I was feeling indulgent. The boba was warm and slightly chewy at first sip. After a few minutes, the boba became a little firmer and was less bouncy. The tables were full of people on the weekend. The interior is a little different from shops as it has a darker palette than the usual stark white walls.

    Bubble waffle & ice cream
    Monique T.

    The boba was so supple and delicious! Soft and chewy. We loved the bubble waffle too- came out fresh and delicious w the ice cream and strawberries. The ladies were very nice and the drink wasnt too sweet which I loved.

    Matcha Coco
    Jicel G.

    It's a little pricey but they a good selection of drinks. I've tried the Matcha Coco thinking it was with coconut milk but it was still good regardless.

    Matcha creme brulee.
    Jackie G.

    Their boba balls are good quality. The creme brulee is one of my regular orders. But their teas are also a great choice.

    Ube latte

    One of my favorite Boba spots! They have great fruit teas and their house milk tea is so good! I recently tried their Ube latte, and now it's one of my favorites! Service is quick, and the staff is very polite.

    Mango Dragonfruit Yogurt
    Oz E.

    Delicious! Came in as a group of 11 and we were not disappointed. Not only is the interior inviting and well-decorated but the people working are friendly, helpful, and patient. The drinks themselves are excellent. The menu offers a variety of unique drinks and flavors including crème brûlée and various yogurt drinks all of which are great. I specifically recommend the mango dragonfruit yogurt. There are also more simplistic kid-friendly options. Definitely a spot worth checking out on your next boba run!

    Great tea place the ambiance is kinda loud when there's a lot of people . It's nice and small I usually just pick up . They have plenty of flavors and everything is good . Service is quick . Highly recommend to try it if you like tea spots .

    Matcha late with crème brûlée.

    Driving to my brothers, this place peaked my interest. So I pulled over and tried it. I am very pleasantly surprised with the quality of my drink. I order the honey kumquat tea with 50% sugar. The tea was refreshing and offered a good balance with tea and kumquat flavor. I actually paused after the first sipped and let out an audible "ahh this is nice" The match late with added crème brûlée with 25% sugar. The cashier said their drinks are on the sweeter side. This adjustment was prefect. The brûlée brought in the right amount of richness to soothe out the matcha. I usually prefer a strong matcha flavor but this mix reminded me of a nice summer ice cream mixed milkshake with a smooth and rich aftertaste taste.

    24 oz. Matcha Creme Brulee
    Kimberly H.

    Amazing drinks!! I'm very picky with boba places especially because I usually only get matcha which is easy to mess up. Yi Cha is probably my favorite place to get boba in north Houston, and honestly, I prefer it over the other big chains in Bellaire. - Matcha Creme Brulee (4.7/5): The matcha creme brulee is my absolute favorite. It's definitely not traditional Japanese matcha and has the distinctive South East Asian matcha flavor which is slightly floral. The creme brulee is creamy and adds a subtle sweetness that helps balance out the drink. I also like how they swirl it all around the cup so it's evenly distributed and not all on the bottom. However, there are some chunky or grainy bits of creme brulee that kind of disturb the drinking experience. Overall, this drink is refreshing and delicious. - Matcha latte (3.9/5): Decent matcha latte from a boba shop. I like how they usually put a lot of matcha so it's flavorful. It does, however, somewhat taste like Costco matcha, but I'm not complaining. I just think matcha connoisseurs might not rate it so high, but I personally really enjoy this drink. Service/ambiance: The interior is very nice and industrial with a good amount of seating and outlets. It can get very crowded and loud, but it's a very nice place to do schoolwork if you're able to get a table. The service is also very nice and you can kind of tell it's a small business.

    24 oz. Jasmine Milk Tea with grass jelly
    Sarah L.

    Great place! Stumbled across this by accident and it was the best accident of the day! Great tasting milk tea (the jasmine milk tea was AMAZING!!) and the egg bubble waffle was made to perfection. The staff were friendly and the place was clean and tidy! Great for a friend meet up or studying! LOVE!!

I was recovering from a cold so I decided to order a hot herbal tea and was happy to see that they had such a huge selection of loose leaf teas to choose from. My friend also got one of their lattes and we couldn't resist getting a tiramisu before leaving. Overall, we liked everything and I think this place is worth a visit for that Kafeina latte. - Kafeina Latte (4/5): The lady told us that this latte was half white chocolate and half pistachio and we could definitely tastes both flavors. I really liked how they put a lot of pistachio pieces in the drink, giving it a crunchy texture. This drink is definitely on the sweeter side though, so keep that in mind. - Nutty Almond Cream Cinnamon Herbal Tea (4/5): I was very happy with the flavor of this tea. Like the name suggest, it tasted very almond-y and had a good amount of cinnamon flavored. There was also a tangy fruity flavor that followed and reminded me of spiced cider. - Tiramisu (4.5/5): I was really impressed with their tiramisu. The mascarpone layer was very nice and custardy, yet felt so light and refreshing. I also loved how strong the coffee flavor was which helped balance out the dessert and made it not too sweet. Service/Ambiance: Upon entering, I was really surprised by how pretty the interior was with the mixture of gold and wood. I'm not sure how pack this place usually gets because I came at an off time ( like 1 pm), but they had a good amount of tables and seating available. I did see a handful of people studying, so I think this would be a good quiet study spot.

That's exactly why this visit to the Spring location was so disappointing. When I first arrived, there was nobody at the register, which already set the tone for the visit. What should have been a quick stop then turned into over an hour. I ordered a smoothie and breakfast tacos, and even the smoothie took a while to come out. I finished the entire drink before my food even arrived. After about 30 minutes, I checked in with the staff and was told it was due to "miscommunication" and that someone was new, while the person who took my order was in the back on the phone. I had to repeat my order multiple times, specifically asking for no hot sauce and no salad. Despite that, after another 15 minutes, the tacos finally came out incorrect, with both hot sauce and a salad, and they were lukewarm, not hot. To make matters worse, the smoothie itself wasn't properly blended. What stood out most is that they weren't particularly busy, just a light morning crowd. I've been to the Tomball location when it was much busier, and the service there was still fast and attentive, which set a high expectation. Overall, the experience didn't match the premium pricing. I truly hope this location improves, but based on this visit, I wouldn't return to this one.

But the avocado toast is the reason why I'm writing this review. I first visited about three weeks ago, and I still can't stop thinking about it. Not to sound corny, but the flavors literally exploded in my mouth. It wasn't your regular avocado toast, so I was a little scared to try it (especially because of the tomatoes), but after the first bite, I felt like I was about to start levitating. I honestly don't know how to explain what it tasted like, but just know that it was delicious! The only small critique would be that it's a bit on the pricier side, but honestly not by much, and the quality makes it worth it!! Overall, you should totally visit this place at least ONCE in your life!!

I'd been to one in Houston before, but just for coffee, but I had a good experience there, so I was down to try their food. There were a ton of great sweet and savory options on the menu, so ordering was a challenge, but we ended up grabbing a pretty big combination of both types of sustenance. Savory: I ordered the breakfast burger and it was really great. Normally I feel like an egg takes away from the flavor of a burger, but that was not the case here. I'm really pleased with my choice here, despite the temptation to go with several alternatives. 5-stars. My wife ordered the soft scramble, and I'll give it this: it was most definitely the softest, most gentle collection of eggs I've ever eaten. But I think I like my rendition of scrambled eggs better. 4-stars. Sweet: Pistachio Croissant: All boxes checked. 5-stars. Snickerdoodle Cookie: I offer all of my praise for this delight. 5-stars. Gingerbread whoopie pie: It wasn't called a whoopie pie, but that's what it was. Like the snickerdoodle cookie, I'm mad I had to share this. 5-stars. Coco-nut cookie: We thought this was a chocolate coconut cookie, but it turns out it was chocolate and nuts. Knowing this information, we would have opted for one of the other, more delicious looking cookies. It was still fine though. 3.5-stars. Drinks: I ordered the dragon fruit berry concoction with my meal, and in a rare moment of weakness, I couldn't resist the maple pecan cold brew, despite ordering black coffee 99% of the time. I'm here to say I enjoyed both of them very much, but the latter did taste more like a milkshake than a coffee. 5-stars for both, but I would definitely order the dragonfruit thing again. Way to go, Common Bond. Here I thought you were just a coffee place this whole time, but your food is pretty, pretty good too.
